Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Core the tomatoes and then slice them across (not through the stem) in 1/2 inch-thick slices. Arrange the slices in a single layer on a sheet pan. Drizzle the tomatoes with the olive oil and sprinkle with the oregano, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and the pepper.
- Bake the tomatoes for 10 minutes. Remove them from the oven, spread each slice with Pesto, and sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese. Return the tomatoes to the oven and continue baking for 7 to 10 minutes, until the Parmesan is melted and begins to brown. Using a flat metal spatula, put the tomatoes on a serving platter, sprinkle with extra salt, and serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.
- Place the walnuts, pine nuts, and garlic in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process for 30 seconds. Add the basil, salt, and pepper. With the processor running, slowly pour the olive oil into the bowl through the feed tube and process until the pesto is pureed. Add the Parmesan and puree for a minute. Use immediately or store the pesto in the refrigerator or freezer with a thin film of olive oil on top.

Steps:
- If pesto is not refrigerated, freeze 15 minutes to firm. Heat gas or charcoal grill.
- Make a horizontal cut into side of each steak, cutting to but not through opposite side and leaving about 1/2 inch uncut at each side, to form a pocket. Spoon firm pesto evenly into pockets. Secure openings with toothpicks. Sprinkle pepper over both sides of beef.
- Place beef on grill. Cover grill; cook over medium heat 5 to 10 minutes on each side for medium doneness (160°F) or until desired doneness. Broiling Directions: Set oven control to broil. Place stuffed beef on rack in broiler pan. Broil with tops 4 to 6 inches from heat 9 minutes; turn. Broil 5 to 10 minutes longer for medium doneness or until desired doneness.

Steps:
- Preheat a large cast-iron grill pan over high heat for 2 minutes. Cut the skirt steak into 4 even pieces, rub with half of the oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Cook, turning once, until charred on both sides and at the desired doneness, 6 to 10 minutes for medium-rare (depending on thickness).
- Meanwhile, whisk together the pesto, butter and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl.
- Trim the ends of the asparagus. Toss the asparagus with the remaining oil and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board to rest for a few minutes. Working in batches if necessary, place the asparagus in a single layer on the grill pan and cook, turning once, until charred in spots and crisp-tender, about 2 minutes.
- Divide the steaks and asparagus among 4 plates; top each steak with a dollop of the pesto butter. Serve immediately.
